Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: My son is currently 39 years old and is trying to develop a solid diversified portfolio. All of his holdings are in his RRSP except for some money in a Tangerine International growth fund which is in his TFSA. He has some new funds to add to his holdings. Could you please recommend some companies from your model portfolios that would add more diversification to his portfolio keeping in mind his relatively long investment horizon. As always, thanks for your advice.

Q: Hello 5i,
I want to buy two stocks to balance my portfolio which is overweight in Consumer, Financial and Health Care. In my watch list I have the following stocks.
Materials: MX
Industrials: ECI, EIF, KWH.UN
IT: ENGH, SYZ
Telecom: T
Utilities: BEP.UN
Which two stocks (sectors) would you buy at the present time? If (when) there is a correction, which sectors are more likely be on “sale”?
Thanks!

Q: I asked this question yesterday but you did not include Telus in you reply. Could you let me know your opinion of this company.
Thanks

Q: I took this morning's post-earnings weakness as a chance to purchase Telus, which has been on my "to buy" list for a while. There was a one-time contract issue affecting their profit this past quarter, but they seem on pace with respect to wireless subscriptions, low attrition rates, and dividend increase schedule. I purchased it in my RRSP for a 30+ year hold. Good move?

Q: If Canadian interest rates remain the same (or even go down) this year, while US interest rates rise, what effect would this have on Canadian companies/stocks in the telecom (T), insurance (SLF), bank (BNS), and utility (BEP.un) sectors? Thanks in advance!

Q: Are you still happy with T? I have held it since August 14, 2014. Since then it has increased by 24.5%, according to StockCharts Perf Chart, while RCI/B has increased 34.4% and BCE by 32.4%. Do you recommend a switch at this point? Can you explain why or why not?

Q: I keep reading that there has been a great rotation away from income/dividend stocks into growth though I dont see much evidence of it. My TD, RB and Telus are not down at all.

Can you explain this belief and if there are examples of beaten up dividend stocks, CDN or US, can you recommend a few for long term holds?
